Licence to grill
Anyone looking for a fun time who is free for lunch on Wednesday 12 February, could do worse than spend £19.50 on a ticket to that day’s meeting of The London Grill Club. The club is the brainchild of David Selves, whose idea is to “put people who matter to the flame – while enjoying good food [a mixed grill, naturally] and company”. It’s a great concept, but the real fun to be had is in the fact that the guest that day is Respect Party MP George Galloway, who stormed out of a debate at Christ Church College, Oxford, last year when questioned by the Israeli student Eylon Aslan-Levy. Mr Galloway, you will recall, will not debate with Israelis, but the Grill Club, is – according to Selves – a “platform for open discussion where all are welcome”. Israelis in London, prepare your questions now (thelondongrillclub.co.uk).
